“Rencontre” with Roy Glauber 4 June 2015, 4 p.m. M.I.T., Laboratory for Nuclear Science Kolker Room, Building 26-414 Those of us who have had the good fortune to be friends with Roy Glauber have known of his participation at a very young age in the most crucial phase of the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos. His original recollections are truly fascinating
and we take advantage of the opportunity of the completion of the documentary “That's the story" by María T. Soto-Sanfiel and José I. Latorre, to invite Roy to be with us on June 4 to speak about his Los Alamos experience following a 10 minute preview of the
documentary. For those interested in seeing the full documentary this will be shown at the end of Roy’s remarks and of his replies to questions from the audience. You will be guests of LNS for coffee, tea and a light snack. Aron Bernstein, Bruno Coppi and Alan Guth Documentary Synopsis: Nobel laureate Prof. Roy J. Glauber was an active participant in the Theory Division of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. His clear, fluent and articulate narration brings first hand information on the life at Los
Alamos, the main scientific characters there, the Trinity test of the first ever nuclear weapon, the bombing of Japan and the political aftermath of the project. Glauber's account is documented with audiovisual material from the Los Alamos Historical Archive.
